The European Movement International is pleased to invite you to a conference on "Family Responsible Organisations" which will take place on Monday 21st September 14h30 to 18h00 at the European Economic and Social Committee, in Brussels.
This event will present the results of the FRO Curriculum project, co-financed by the European Commission Leonardo da Vinci Life Long Learning programme, and carried out by 7 partners representing NGOs, SMEs and chambers of commerce from 5 different European countries.

European enterprises, especially SMEs, are faced with growing global competition requiring new knowledge, skills and policies.  Studies have shown the correlation between gender equality, family friendly policies and profitability in enterprises.

Launched in 2007, FRO Curriculum meets the need for increased professional qualifications amongst teachers and trainers in VET within the field of gender equality and reconciliation policies in Europe .

After a welcome speech by EESC President Mario Sepi, an introduction on the project will be given and two panels, in presence of EU Commissioner Vladimir Spidla, will successively discuss the issues of Corporate Social Responsibility, FRO and the question of sustainability in times of economic crisis.

We look forward to your participation in this event.

The event will be followed by a cocktail reception.

Please find below the agenda and registration form. You are kindly asked to register by e-mail before Wednesday 16th September at events@europeanmovement.eu as places are limited. For security reasons, only registered participants will be allowed to enter.
